Abdullah hailed the solid bilateral parliamentary relations with the Labour Party saying that these relations are distinguished with mutual understanding and open dialogue. Based on that, Abdallah added: ” Britain should work hard to change its foreign policy towards certain issues, there is a need to change its image around the world and in the eyes of Palestinians. Britain image has sharply deteriorated since Belfore Declaration. We call on the labour party to intensify its diplomatic efforts and put pressure on the British government to assume responsibility as a result of the Balfour Declaration, and apologize to the Palestinian people”.
